You should explain more about what it does/how it works on the intro page.
Is it like Foldershare was back in 2006 (before MS bought it)?
Does it enable client-less file sharing (eg via a browser for someone wanting to access your files)?
If that's the concept, great! Maybe an example on the page would be useful
Hello and thanks for the feedback!
Sorry for the delay, my PC had a nervous breakdown yesterday.
Funnily I reworked the intropage recently to remove a lot of examples because I felt it cluttered up the first impression! What do you think about a sub section for that or would that be too easily overlooked? Also, as I have you on the hook here for the moment :-) what do you think about those examples:
Chat
Facebook-like
Webpage
Dropbox
Wikipedia
Backup
Or maybe you have some ideas?
For your questions, yes it does allow client-less sharing (guess you have to have your PC on from time to time though, but not at all always), but you can't access the data from a browser. I'm working on a browser plugin to read the link files, but it has to be in javascript so there is some work to be done.
I don't know how Foldershare worked, but you can definitely share a folder with your friends for example.
BTW, you can sub here for info and of course if you have more questions!
Or just fire away here.
Cheers
